I don't rule out loud, uncomfortable protests. They are one way of drawing attention to a problem but we also need to change people's ideas.
That doesn't make any sense. The right to live as you see fit underlies religious freedom, LGBT rights and reproductive freedom.

You act like ideals work in a vacuum. People "living their own values" can also mean discrimination and slavery.

No, it can't because the other part of that is 'not impacting anybody else's'. That prevents others living their own values, doesn't it?

Again ideals in a vacuum. Reality is power dynamics.

What does that mean? That you'd prevent people from living according to their own values in case they indirectly impact others?

Justice means we must consider others. Yes, there are limits to freedom if we want both a free and just society.

In our own lives? My Muslim neighbour believes in traditional gender roles & that homosexuality is a sin. Shld she lose freedom of religion?

Were white moderates pushing for these things as well as the right for PoC to live their lives as they saw fit with access to everything?
-
Not sure what this means.

They weren't. MLK was not criticising people who wanted everyone to have the freedom to live their own lives with access to everything.
